Hi group study
I am having some trouble getting the "backup interface" command to work
on a point-to-point sub interface. Both interfaces have been tested to
confirm that they work and I have also tried the exact same command on
the main serial interface (that works). I shutdown the point-to-point
subinterface and get the following:-
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status
Protocol
Serial0/0 unassigned YES NVRAM up
up
Serial0/0.401 148.1.0.4 YES NVRAM administratively
down down
Serial0/1 148.1.45.4 YES NVRAM standby
mode/disabled down
It seems like a really simple task but I can't for the life of me get it
to work. Has anybody got any suggestions that could help me please?
For completeness I have included the interface config though there is
only one line (please note the shutdown command has been added
intentionally to test the backup)
interface Serial0/0
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
no arp frame-relay
no frame-relay inverse-arp
interface Serial0/0.401 point-to-point
backup interface Serial0/1
ip address 148.1.0.4 255.255.255.0
shutdown
Many thanks in advance (I know someone is going to tell me that I
haven't turned the router on or something on this one)
I am trying this on a 3620 but have since tried (with the same problem
on a 7204)
Many thanks in advance
